Finding good Christian children’s songs with motions can be a challenge if you are teaching in a Sunday school. A song has to be catchy enough for these kids to remember, and the steps must be easily followed but still enjoyable enough for them. You must also search for as many songs as you can, if you want a sense of variety in the songs you will play in your Sunday school.

For our advice? Remember that you were once like them. You attended Sunday schools when you were young and I am sure you have some pretty good memories about the songs you sang and danced to back then.

Without further ado, here are our takes for good Christian children’s song with motions.

Let the children use their index finger and make a circular motion while singing these lines.

“Don’t let Satan blow it out,

I’m gonna let it shine

Don’t let Satan blow it out,

I’m gonna let it shine

Don’t let Satan blow it out,

I’m gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”

When they sing “Don’t let Satan…” the kids will shake their heads then blow on their fingers.

As similar with the earlier step, they will just make a circular motion with their index finger.

“This little light of mine,

I’m gonna let it shine

This little light of mine,

I’m gonna let it shine

This little light of mine,

I’m gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”

Repeat the first step.

“Shine all over

[name of town]

I’m gonna let it shine. Shine all over

[name of town]

I’m gonna let it shine. Shine all over

[name of town]”

Here, they will use both of their hands as if they are echoing words.

“I’m gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”

Repeat the first step.

It goes on without saying that there are other Christian children’s songs with motions. Devise your own if you must but just remember that the steps must be easy enough for the kids to mimic. Have a blast with your Sunday school!
